The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ includes Rebirth, Afterbirth, and the Afterbirth+ expansion and will be launching with the system March 3rd on both retail and digital formats.

It's cool to see this hit launch since it's generally well-received. I'll probably pass on it myself since the content and subject matter are not really my thing, but more games from the start is always good news.

Let's see if Konami can match or beat that $39.99 price with Super Bomberman R now...

I saw this announced by the creator of the game a while ago but it wasn't confirmed from a lot of places, but it's good to know it's actually confirmed now.

I'm not really into Binding of Isaac (mainly because I don't like procedurally generated anything and I hate roguelikes), but good for fans of that. Plus, I think this is the first time it's getting a physical release? I could be wrong about that though.

@Mr_Mustache That's not an accident, the plot involves a fetus or something. It's pretty gross.

I have it actually. Tried it out. Not really my thing. Another "roguelike", I just can't get into those kind of games. Anand probably loves it. It's very original Zelda inspired, which is cool. But yeah, roguelike. Not for me.

Oh that is quite apt for the whole game. Lots of shit, aborted fetus type items, and just general gross designs. Supposedly the actual game is quite good but this art direction and theme really killed the game for me before I could get into it at all.

I was wondering the same thing and I looked on Steam. The original is $5.50 then there is some other game called Rebirth which was more and for that there was a bundle including the Afterbirth DLC for $39.something. It seems like it is consistent with prices elsewhere. I don't know what we got on PS+.

Oh man I love me some Isaac. Have 281 hours logged on Steam for the original flash version (probably more that I did offline at school) and 621 hours in Rebirth/Afterbirth/Afterbirth+/Antibirth and still counting. If you can get past the look and theming of the game, it's a hell of a lot of fun to play and will last you forever.

@Secret_TunnelWell considering a massive bug preventing tons of room layouts only just got fixed and said bug had been in the game since the base game came out...yeah they take way too long.

Holy cow! Holy cow! That is at least 60 times longer than I expected this game to be.

@TriforceBunIt mostly comes from it being endlessly replayable. A youtuber I watch called Northernlion has been playing it on his channel since the flash version came out in 2011 and uploads several episodes a day. The game has a lot of content for the relatively small price you pay.

@ZeroNot really. You get to a point where everything is unlocked, but there are so many items that you will always get a different setup each time you play. Rooms you will see a lot of the same, but I am unsure at the moment how much of that was due to them bugging and not spawning some in.
